I wish I were in Germany for Octoberfest!

Anyone planning a vacation in Germany this year? It’d be great to visit in time for Octoberfest wouldn’t it? Beer, sausages, snitchel, and sauerkraut. Yum. If you are planning on going to Octoberfest I hope that you already looked for Hotels in Berlin. I actually think the festivals on right now. Oops. Well maybe next year for Octoberfest then. How about touring some castles or going to some of the famous spa resorts in Germany then?

I’d like to visit Vienna someday. It sounds like such a beautiful city. I know that I’d like to go on some of the walking tours in Vienna and perhaps even do some wine tasting too. I’m not sure that it’d be a good idea to combine the two activities though!

I’ve heard that there’s some beautiful Hotels in Vienna. The Bristol Hotel looks like a castle. It’s amazing! I think I’d want to stay there if I were going to Vienna. It’s a full service hotel from what I’ve read.

Have you been to Europe? Maybe Germany? What Hotels in Berlin would you recommend? As I said earlier theres a lot of reasons to visit Berlin, Germany and I hope that one day well visit that city as well as Vienna and a few other European must see cities as well.

Something Fishy in Austria

In early March residents of a northern area of Austria were puzzled by a bizarre mystery. The carcass of a three foot long shark had been discovered in a fresh water river. Fortunately the mystery was solved rather quickly when a man confessed that he’d put the shark carcass in the river as a joke.

The prankster was an apprentice chef who worked at a hotel in the province of upper Austria. He stated that he put the dead shark in the river Voeckla after it began to smell while thawing.

Austrian experts had been hard pressed to explain why a shark was in landlocked fresh water stream.

The chef told a local newspaper that several of the restaurants customers were in on the joke and that they had placed bets on how long they could keep the controversy going.
